I remember...
Pick two things you remember about the Scrolls. This incarnation or any other. Or pick more than two. It'll be fun. Seriously.

I remember:

Ame, being the sig pic police. She'd go around and check people's signature to make sure they were the right size. What a hard ass! Wink

Scrollers who used to send each other post cards from various places and report here when they'd gotten them.

So...what do you remember?

I remember a 2nd scrolls just for chatting that Ame(?) created, so that the old scrolls wouldn't crash. I remember it was pretty much abandonded after awhile then SX & I started chatting there on a regular basis.

I remember the add-on scroller story threads that were usually (i think) started by tiki.

I remember gettin bit by Linxi- several times.

I remember Robyn & Donna murdering scrollers- ok, that was a dream i had but it was so vivid!

I remember a whole forum dedicated to Surveys and Polls.

I remember a whole forum dedicated to Birthdays.

I remember a whole forum dedicated to Joxer.

I remember when the whole scrolls was just one big unmoderated forum.

I rememebr a Scrolls before there were trolls...

I remember a scroll when a thread 'died' if it drifted back to page 2...

I remember when posting to the scrolls did NOT move a thread to the top of the page nor move it to the front page...

I remember a scrolls that fit on just one page for nearly 2 weeks.
I remember a scrolls wher you had to idenify yourself each time you posted.. but you could post as anyone/anything you liked..

I remember a scroll that used to load 1 reply(!)at a time...!!

that was work to read in a rapidly changing thread..!!!

I remember when it would have taken me over a half an hour to type in this reply...Smile




Why is it easier to fool the masses than it is to convince them that they have been fooled...?

well Tom was moderating, maybe you were too??? or maybe that happened right after? I remember when it was just 1 mod Smile. I know I lurked a bit and had a different handle for a couple of weeks before i actually go brave and posted. The next recollection I have of mods after that is when Robyn etc were put in as mods (is that when we made forums?) if so I am sure that there is quite a bit of history in there that I am totally forgetting-lol!


onward...

I remember when there were no sig pics.

Your Hidden Talent



You have the natural talent of rocking the boat, thwarting the system.
And while this may not seem big, it can be.
It's people like you who serve as the catalysts to major cultural changes.
You're just a bit behind the scenes, so no one really notices.

What's Your Hidden Talent?

I remember how excited I was to find Tom's page.

I remember not quite knowing what to think of the scrolls and being too chicken to post.

I remember trying to come up with a cool name and failing ending up being just plain ol' Shawn.

I remember being freaked out that we were leaving the original format and then how relieved I was when the forums actually made it easier to find threads.

I remeber being a mod.

I remember Laura, Terps, Becky, Ryan, Ether, Robynne (not to be confused with Robyn, i think), Sharona, some guy named Ully and some other guy named Alan and some wallet thief named Alana (ok, we both were wallet thiefs of the newbies).

I remember Ame's Temple where we posted when the scrolls were down.

I remember the Xena ep rating threads, which were started by Tarena (i think) and then continued by cousin lila997.

I remember the ep rating threads--they were fun!Big Grin

I remember the very last ep of xena and everyone seeing it at different times--and freaking right out and some of them spoiled it for others and got banned--and at the same time the USA board was still alive and people were spoiling it there too--in fact, grrr i found out what happened when i hung out at USA one day! arrrg!Mad

I remember the thread with no home, that was funny!Big Grin

I remember the scrolls used to crash from time to time and I lost some perfectly good poetry that way ARRRG so i started saving my poetry on my harddrive since then.Smile

I remember people put up pics of the cons, and i always wished i could have gone!

I remember the SPAM thread! That was a RIOT! Tiki, remember that??

I remember the fight club used to be for arguments amongst scrollers(as well as other such things)but you hardly ever see that anymore yayyyyy!(not that a good argument doesn't clear the air sometimes but it's nice to see people gettin along so well these days!SmileBig Grin

I remember xena montages! Nice ones too!

I remember meeting Argy and Ares in New York before 9/11 and eating my first tim tam and overall having a blast with them.Smile

I remember Argy's post about 9/11--"Holy Crap!" it said--and I saw everyone's reaction to it as it was happening. Freaky.

I remember xc's thread where everyone said something like "i like cheese. I have bellybutton lint." Or something. lol, that was fun

On this incantation, I remember discovering the What if THread, seeing new forums dedicated to various shows, great idea, even MOVIES get a place, which means my Johnny Depp is welcome WEEEEE--seeing old people return, talking politics on the fight club from time to time, overall being in a different place than i was in the old scrolls and really lovin it!

Anyway--ONWARD!

About the sig pic police thing sara first mentioned.

I used to have an old comp, with a 33 modem.

Anything bigger than the sig pic size which is LAW may i add, killed my comp.

I had to police or not be able to read posts, cause they didn;t load.

We remember when Amethyst's baby Jessica was born and her first baby pictures were posted.

We remember how fun Amethyst's Xena Alphabet Threads were.

We remember the Scroller Hierarchy when it was like a race to have the most number of posts and announce that you moved to a new level.

We remember the Gabris Fam.

We remember when Motoki started a thread asking us scrollers to post our pictures.
